Milwaukee Tool delivers slip, trip and fall protection on the jobsite with the new BOLT Safety Helmets with IMPACT ARMOR Liner. Designed with RHEON technology, the IMPACT ARMOR Liner delivers oblique impact protection†.
The safety helmet is a part of the BOLT system, allowing users to secure accessories simultaneously on the jobsite.

"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the construction industry has the greatest number of both fatal and nonfatal traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) (CDC, 2016)," said Kyle Anderson, senior product manager. "RHEON technology utilizes energy-absorbing polymers to reduce impact. The material is initially soft and hardens upon impact to provide ultimate protection. With this technology, IMPACT ARMOR delivers the best impact protection against oblique impacts†, which can lead to TBIs."
In addition to protection against top and side impacts, the BOLT Safety Helmets with IMPACT ARMOR Liner allow users to use multiple accessories at once. The construction safety helmets include a Milwaukee BOLT Headlamp Mount that works with most headlamps for secure attachment and a BOLT Marker Clip that allows for access to pens and markers.
The BOLT Safety Helmets with IMPACT ARMOR Liner have a padded suspension that includes an adjustable swinging ratchet. The climbing style helmet also has an adjustable chin strap for security. These safety helmets are American National Standards Institute (ANSI) type 2 and are customizable with the ability to add a company logo in up to four locations on the helmet.

The BOLT IMPACT ARMOR Liner is also available separately allowing users to retrofit the liner into any Milwaukee safety helmet increasing protection and performance.
